I was lucky enough to meet Summer at the LFCC this past weekend. Other attendees seemed surprised at the queues for photoshoots and autographs from her. Why? She was one of the main attractions and oozed star quality and it didn't hurt that she was lovely as well to all her fans. She was very impressed with the art I commissioned from Andrew Fry and duly signed it. One of the highlights of a troubled show. Thank you.

James Jackson sent us his photo op with Summer as well as a personal item he got signed.

So finally met #summerglau and it was truly an honour had a photo and got it signed

But the DC Comics cover featuring Ravager he got signed by Summer wins the internet for today imo.

As I said before, 90% of the fans in Summer's lines at Browncoats and their dedication will never be praised enough. That said, I have the feeling it's not a good thing when an experienced actress like Summer Glau is appreciated for only one role, even if iconic. This is why I'm always glad when fans at her booth or at her Q&A mention TSCC or Arrow, or Dollhouse,...

Shane King published on his blog a detailed review of his time at LFCC.

Here are the excerpts dedicated to his meeting with Summer Glau.

My photo shoot with Summer was scheduled for 9:30am at photo area C and I could live happily in the knowledge that my autographs shouldn't be a problem. Woohoo! Summer's photo shoot went off without a hitch. She had a big smile etched across her face for the entire photo shoot and looked beautiful...especially when you consider it was 9:30am on Comic Con weekend. I usually look like a troll until at least midday.

I decided to go and get Summer's autograph. Summer's autograph queue moved surprisingly quickly and it wasn't long before I was face-to-face with Summer Glau, another one of my idols. Coming into the event, I knew that Summer was a little shy. I'd watched countless videos of her on YouTube and she came across as someone that enjoyed her profession, but also enjoyed being away from the spotlight, which I can appreciate. I didn't get a great deal of time with Summer because she was one of the busiest guests of the weekend, but we talked briefly about her role on Angel's "Waiting In The Wings" and how she got the part of River Tam on "Firefly". Summer never stopped smiling throughout our exchange and she even personalised my autograph with a quote from her character on "Firefly" - "No power in the 'verse can stop me"...

I do wish that I'd gotten a little more time with Summer and left more of an impression, but that's down to me, not Summer. Also, Summer's boyfriend (that's my assumption) was at the convention with her and he was also a really polite guy. As myself and Hannah were leaving Summer's autograph table he wished us a good day and said he hoped that we're enjoying the convention. That was nice of him.

The guest list was extensive and it would have been hard to see everything and everyone but there are definitely a few names that stick out if you are a fan of Sci-Fi and the cult classics. Summer Glau was there with a queue of almost a thousand people wanting to meet her. Beloved for her parts in Firefly as River Tam, the ass kicking terminator Cameron in The Sarah Connor Chronical and much, much more. There was a lot of excitement and lot of disappointment in trying to meet her.

Fortunately the CKDS Radio team where one of the lucky ones and by sheer chance a lovely stranger gave them a ticket which meant they were one of the first ones to greet Miss Glau. Stephen Driver aka ‘Bossman’ co-founder and owner of CKDS Radio said: “She was busy but really, really sweet and gave as much time as should could. It was such a high to meet her.”

Summer, also get's a special mention, what a trooper, her queue was always long but she insited on personalising for anyone who wanted it. She was also happy to chat to me for a bit about her roll in Arrow and gave me hug :)

Summer Glau - co-best guest. Absolutely lovely, plenty of time to chat even though her queue was halfway to the back wall. A personalised quote signature to top it off.

I had commissioned a drawing of Summer to get signed. Not only was she impressed with the drawing, but had a quick chat about it. The chap moving people along (American, I think) even took a photo for me of Summer holding the picture. The artist will be stoked when I send him a copy. Absolute top people.

Summer Glau: She was very nice extremely expressive - I saw her do the "seriously" face a few times (I think people asked her to for the photo) and put her arm around everyone (both for people who asked). She also made eye contact with everyone, which was definitely nice.

Summer Glau - Second fav guest. She was so busy but still managed to have a chat with me. Again she mentioned how crazy everything was and how massive her queue was. I had a picture of her and the cast from Firefly drawn like a comic book panel and she really liked it. She personalised with a firefly quote as well. I was super pleased.

Summer Glau: Another wonderful person. On our photoshoot pictures she looks very tired. When she was signing my poster she was looking a bit better. Very friendly to us and apologizing for having us waiting long (which wasn't a big deal).
